Critics comes after the action ,so why you worry?Afraid of not getting the credentials?

That is an issue anyway, so I am proposing a personal/collective monumentfor the undercredited anonymous artist i.e.http://www.undercreditedandanonymousartistmonument.org to which everyone cancontribute by adding the name of one of the victims, with a shortexplanation why.

Definitively I will propose: Andrej Tisma and horrorkatze, both victims ofcapitalistic culturalization, in that particular sense that the so calledSorros organization indeed short circuited NATO politics with culturalursurpation of Balkan artists.

Not to speak of the 5th colonnist of the Richard Florida maffia in so calledcreative industries.
